On Friday night, October 16, 2009, as part of the Thompson World Series festivities, the friends of Sonny Richards will be hosting the first-ever Texas Hold’ Em Poker Tournament Fundraiser. The event will take place at the Raceway Golf Club (a.k.a. the Club House) at 8PM.

There will be a $40 buy-in with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Sonny Richards “Education is King” Scholarship Fund. Prizes will be paid out to the top-three finishers; the payout will be determined by the number of players. Shawn Courchesne of the Hartford Courant has graciously agreed to serve as the dealer for the tournament.

Tickets for the event are available by emailing Dale Wolbrink at racinpr@aol.com or by calling (508) 847-0565.

Kelly Coby-Silk was the most recent recipient of a Sonny Richards “Education is King” Scholarship.

My bad...knowing nothing about Poker Tournaments...I put on the original post that Shawn would be the dealer. He will simply be the organizer for the event.
